Pittsburgh, US based symphonic death metal project Thy Shining Curse has unleashed its highly anticipated debut album “Theurgia” today, available via ViciSolum Productions. To commemorate the release of their new record, Thy Shining Curse has unveiled a gloomy music video for their latest single, “Lenore”. Watch the video below.

Stream the single HERE

Founded in 2021, Thy Shining Curse is the solo musical project of a death metal initiate, Leonidas, with a primary focus on the practice of hierurgical artistry through symphonic methexis and hermetic imagery. The band is dedicated to the vision of its founder, aiming to create an immersive mystical experience by invoking the archetypical instincts of man via powerful symbolism, following the principles of the Pythagorean tradition, the Eleusinian mysteries, Neoplatonism and Western Esotericism. The depiction of its members is purposefully avoided. Instead, two mysterious figures act as the band’s visual representatives, Celeus and Celeucis. Their purpose is to complement the auditory experience with a subliminal initiation to the visual language of symbols, acting as modern-day hierophants.

Rich in its intensity and harmonies, the band’s debut record is a collection of seven musical rites, revolving around a common thematic axis; transgressing the physical world. “Theurgia” stands for “divine work” in Greek and was developed as a term by the Neoplatonists. It describes a series of magical acts that aim to connect the human soul to a hierarchy of superior beings, leading up to the supreme being or so-called, The One.

“Theurgia” is out NOW on ViciSolum Productions and available for purchase at THIS LOCATION

ITERUM NATA Release New Single ‘A Manifested Nightmare’

Iterum Nata are now unveiling “A Manifested Nightmare”, the third single from the upcoming release “From the Infinite Light”. The project by Jesse Heikkinen (The Abbey, Henget, ex-Hexvessel), will release its fifth studio album via Nordvis on March 15.

Find “A Manifested Nightmare” all digital streaming platforms HERE.

Physical pre-orders for the album are available in the Nordvis Store.

Jesse comments: “A Manifested Nightmare” is about despair and the acceptance of a dark fate. It portrays undefeatable, sinister forces relentlessly pursuing you, leading to an inevitable surrender. Musically, this hauntingly dramatic track is characterized by its hypnotic, repetitive elements, featuring some of the finest piano work I’ve ever recorded. It’s an ideal soundtrack for sleepwalking through nightmares.”

In the wake of his critically acclaimed 2023 album, “Trench of Loneliness”, Jesse embarks on a bold foray across the boundaries between folk music, black and doom metal, neo-folk, and progressive rock, orchestrating a symphony where every note is a harbinger of both darkness and light.

Delving into the abyss of the human psyche, the album chronicles the odyssey of a desperate soul seeking refuge in the shadows of his inner chaos, eventually finding a sombre embrace in the darkness borne from his disintegrating sanity.

In the wake of his critically acclaimed 2023 album, “Trench of Loneliness”, Jesse Heikkinen (The Abbey, Henget, ex-Hexvessel) embarks on a bold foray across the boundaries between folk music, black and doom metal, neo-folk, and progressive rock, orchestrating a symphony where every note is a harbinger of both darkness and light.

As twelve-string and six-string acoustic guitars weave a cloak of folky serenity, tremolo-picked electric guitars inject black metal mysticism, forging a sound that’s as distinctive as it is immersive. Fusing the brooding narratives of Nick Cave, the avant-garde creativity of Dødheimsgard, and the spectral chants of Dead Can Dance, “From the Infinite Light” is a beckoning path into a world where the melancholy of introspection meets the rage of existence.

“From the Infinite Light” was produced, recorded, and mixed by Jesse Heikkinen at Studio Beyond North Star. The album features guest appearances by Matron Thorn (Ævangelist, Benighted in Sodom), Rob Coffinshaker (The Coffinshakers), as well as renowned author and occultist Richard Kaczynski.

With “From the Infinite Light”, Iterum Nata transitions from a solitary journey to a collective venture, featuring a full band setup that augments the weight and breadth of the project’s soundscape, marking this as its most ambitious and heaviest work to date.

Delving into the abyss of the human psyche, the album narrates the odyssey of a desperate soul seeking refuge in the shadows of his inner chaos, eventually finding a sombre embrace in the darkness borne from his disintegrating sanity.

ACID MAGUS Unveil Epic Reworking Of Classic Tracks in New Single ‘Curse Of The Wyrd Syster’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on February 17, 2024

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: ACID MAGUS. Leave a comment

ACID MAGUS, the fearless experimental rock ensemble hailing from Pretoria, South Africa, is thrilled to announce the release of their latest single, a monumental reworking of two of their original tracks, “Wyrd Syster” and “Rituals” out today via Mongrel Records.

Known for their genre-defying sound, Acid Magus draws inspiration from an eclectic mix of influences, spanning the realms of doom, stoner, punk, psych, and classic rock. Paying homage to rock legends like Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, as well as contemporary behemoths like Kyuss and Sleep, the band weaves a sonic tapestry that encapsulates the spirit of rock music across the decades.

The upcoming single, “Curse Of The Wyrd Syster,” is a revisitation of the tracks from Acid Magus’s debut album, also titled “Wyrd Syster.” Originally conceived as a single song, “Wyrd Syster” and “Rituals” were separated for the album release, only to be reunited in a powerful live performance. Now, with the addition of new members Rico on vocals and Bez on guitars, the band has re-recorded the epic track in their current drop C tuning, adding extra layers and new elements to enhance the experience.

Buy / stream the single at https://orcd.co/curse-of-the-wyrd-syster

The recording process for “Curse Of The Wyrd Syster” maintained Acid Magus’s signature DIY ethos, with a focus on capturing the raw and impassioned energy that defines their live performances. Rico’s vocals, delivered with ease and intensity, showcase the band’s commitment to authenticity. The addition of Bez’s improvised solo and former bassist Jarryd’s synth pads, programmed just before his departure, further elevate the track, creating an immersive and atmospheric journey.

Commenting on the message behind the single, Acid Magus emphasizes that the core theme remains unchanged – “a celebration and reverence for the eternal life symbolized by women.” The band asserts that women should be revered, a sentiment that has resonated since the original release of the tracks.

“Curse Of The Wyrd Syster” not only captures the evolution of Acid Magus’s sound but also serves as a testament to the band’s growth and adaptability. Fans can expect a journey that spans the depths of heavy and soft, slow, and fast, all delivered straight from the heart of Acid Magus.
